I didn't hardly sleep a WINK last night. About once a month or every six weeks, on a Sunday, night, I will have a bout with insomnia. I did some wedding stuff late last night and I should have known better, Of COURSE my brain was consumed with wedding stuff last night- all the stuff I need to do, haven't done, money I need to put into it, things I need to tell people, RSVP's to enter into the spreadsheet, picking up my dress from the cleaners (the stains CAME OUT!!!!) and so on. I should have known my mind would wander all night.... and it did. I need a strict rule to put ALL wedding stuff away by 9 or so at night and read a good book or something. Ok, so the dress I bought was from Craigslist. It was a $1000 Alfred Angelo and I picked it up for $100. It laces up the back, so fitting was very very easy. I just had to have it taken in a bit, shortened and have the bustle put in because it has a big ol' train which I didn't care for. I'm not a train kinda girl. I'm actually not a wedding dress kinda girl. Anyway, so it looked like the girl who wore it before me got into a fight with a catsup bottle.... or maybe a small child with catsup on his hands, grabbed her and hugged her. It was in various spots on the dress- front and back. So ... I took it to the cleaners this week and it's not ready yet (not been steamed) but they did let me see it on Friday and it was CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN- nary a stain to be found. WHAT A LOAD OFF! I was a bit worried about it- since the dress was used almost a year ago, the stains could have set. But now not a problem. All is well. We enjoyed our Easter, Blanca enjoyed her birthday and I promise to download her Huggie Buggie pics soon. I'm just so tired from not sleeping ... and work is tough this morning- lots o' emails. I guess that's the price for being closed on Friday- all of our customers weren't... so they were still sending out requests ... 33 days .... Karyn
